Mac OS X 10.6.2 vs. Ubuntu 10.04 Performance

While we are just weeks away from delivering the most comprehensive Mac OS X vs. Windows 7 vs. Linux benchmarks, and Apple is on the heels of releasing the major Mac OS X 10.6.3 update (update: well, soon as this article went live, Apple just happened to push out Mac OS X 10.6.3), for those impatient ones today we have published an extensive set of tests comparing the performance of Mac OS X 10.6.2 against a development build of Ubuntu 10.04. This is our first time exploring how Canonical’s Lucid Lynx can compete with Apple’s Snow Leopard.
